Hi P.H.
Please post back after the upgrade. I'm very curious to know how it goes. Thanks, Scott
P.H.:
I'm familiar with that update. I will give it a go.

Hi P.H.
Regarding this portion of the orginal post
--- Quote ---...I ended up reinstalling 1.0.8 and it is running like a dream. Stable, fast, smooth, not bulky...I didn't realize how well it works til I experimented with the other distros. 1.0.8 is awesome for the everyday desktop user, which is me. The slogan is true, "it just works"!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the 3.8 kernel in LL 108 will reach its end of support life on 8-8-2014. Open a terminal and run the command hwe-support-status for more information.
Your options at this point would be to upgrade to LL2.0 (which you already tried and doesn't work for you), use the system as is with the end of life kernel (probably not the best choice), upgrade an LL108 install to the next supported kernel (more on this below), try an install of LL106 (uses the 3.2 kernel which is still supported).
Upgrading an LL108 install to the next kernel (also the same kernel in LL2.0) is probably a long shot considering LL2.0 didn't work well on your system but it's still an option. Who knows, it could work.
Again, sorry to have to deliver the bad news right after you find a good fit for your hardware.

Hi P.H.
I didn't read the entire post but I think this link may help:
Fixing the black screen after grub boot-up

If that doesn't work try Googling the words "grub blank screen" or something similar
